Dreer's Roses 



for the Garden 



Specially Prepared in Pots for Outdoor Planting 



157 



While our old customers are familiar with the high-grade Roses 

 which we send out we wish to direct the attention of those who 

 never have planted Dreer's Roses to their superior quality due to 

 the manner in which these plants are prepared which most effect- 

 ively preserves their full strength and vigor, and insures perfect 

 success with them. 



Why Dreer's Roses are Superior 



AU our Roses are strong, budded, two-year-old. field-growu 

 plants, carefully dug in the fall, planted in pots, and stored in 

 cold greenhouses or cold frames where artificial heat is used only 

 to exclude the most severe frost. During the latter part of March 

 these potted plants are moved to beds in the open ground where 

 they receive no further protection. 



Under this treatment the plants develop in a natural way and 

 are not only superior to stock which has been developed into full 

 growth under glass but also are better for spring planting than 

 plants which have been carried over winter in cellars or in cold 

 storage under any method known to us. 



Finest Quality at Reasonable Prices 



The prices at which these Roses are offered are as low as first- 

 class stock can be produced. Quality has not been sacrificed to 

 meet the competition of any of the many low-priced offers which 

 are being broadcast. 



The stock we offer is the best that it is possible to produce , and 

 with reasonable handling by the planter will give the kind of 

 results every gardener is looking for. Orders placed with us for 

 dormant Roses for delivery on or before April 1, will be delivered 

 charges prepaid to any address in the United States. These 

 dormant Roses are sent without pots and they are freed from soil. 



After April 1, We Supply Potted Plants Only 



On these the buyer pays transportation charges. We do not 

 offer dormant plants for delivery after April 1, because we know 

 from many years' experience that such stock planted after April 

 1, will rarely give satisfactory results in a normal season. At 

 that time of the year dormant plants are bound to start a quick 

 top growth without the necessary root action with the result that 

 but few ever produce satisfactory plants if they live at all.
